Warning this post contains snakes-- (but Casey, they are being held by toddlers, which thereby cancels out the yuckiness with the overwhelming cuteness!!!)
The other Brooks arrived Tuesday night. After a restless night of excited and unhappy little toddlers popping up and crying throughout the night, we had a wonderful first day together. We spent the first half of the day at the Imagination Station followed by lunch at Andy's (50's diner). Our visit to the Imagination Station was one of the most enjoyable thus far. Daddy got out several of the animals, and to our surprise, shy, demure Miss Madeline asked to hold several of the reptiles (including a big leopard gecko and a snake). It was so so funny to see her ask Jonathan to hold them. She put on a serious, proud, borderline "show off" face and mustered up her most matter-of-fact voice and said, "Ahold it Daddy. . . yes?"
Because nobody is nursing or napping in the mornings anymore (last time we were at I.S. together Braewyn and Madeline were infants), the kids were able to take their time and really enjoy the exhibits. For the grand finale Daddy set up the Star Lab-- woohoo! I was super excited--because I have very fond memories of the star lab coming to our elementary school when we lived in Japan. Once again, the Star Lab did not disappoint. The kids were a little freaked out about crawling into a dark inflated igloo, but once the stars came out, a good time was had by all!

PS. I remember the star lab too!
Good pictures! I have never wanted to hold a snake...eek! Madeline and Philip are SO brave. And Yoshi...a little creepy...but I'm sure he's very nice. Love the girl's pig tails:) ~Mom
God bless you for the warning, Lori! :) Although, seeing YOUR toddlers hold them makes me think of MY toddler holding them... and well, that just can't happen, haha. When we come visit, Casey will be bypassing the reptile section!
Glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
